When I left work yesterday, I noticed that my service engine soon light, and my abs light where not lit up (service engine light is for idle code, abs light unknown at this point). I live like 2 min from work so when I get home, I check the codes. Still throwing one (same one it has been). I wash it yesterday afternoon, and when I go to start it, the dash unit doesn't come on. Gauges, don't sweep, no mileage, etc. The car starts and idles fine. Even drives without the dash. I'm not sure if when I left work the dash started up normal or "delayed."
Here's the kicker, after about 15-20sec of the car running, the dash comes on. Everything works the way it's supposed to. I had the alternator go out on me last year, and got the stock one rebuilt. I also still have the battery from the factory. I have been getting the gut feeling that the alternator is on it's way out for some time, but it keeps on running. Anyone ever experience a "delayed" dash start up? Any ideas what it could be?
